Well.
A lot has happened.
At the moment I'm just sitting in the hospital room with Caleb and his mom. He just needed to get some crap out of his lungs (long story short) and then he should be good to go! We've been here since the day after Christmas... 0.o The worst is, I don't have any paper!!! So i just have to doodle on myself... haha I've started playing Assasains Creed 2 and I am soo addicted.. :/ haha I've gotten SO far only to find out, i'll have to start all over when we get back because unless i want to steal the hard drive or whatever, of the hospital's xbox... it won't be saved... dangit!
I can't wait to go up to Alaska in July... I'm missing my family really bad. And I have the biggest itch to go fishing!!! NO not for little six-inch long fish... FISH. As in King Salmon, Reds, Silvers, I'd even be happy with Pinks!! Caleb gets to come with us and we'll be hanging out with my cousins Savannah and Sydney, and my bfflse Lisa! Oh my word, I need some good ol' outdoor, pinetree, pure air, glacier water, Alaskan therapy! Ain't nothin better :)
So I've been writing on a book lately... It's actually coming along fairly well.....
Here's a snippet :)
“Oh
praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead.
Oh
praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead.”
Eerie, mournful voices wind their way through the dark
corridors and shifting shadows. These words seem out of place amid the suffering and torture taking place all
around. No one has saved their bearers from this
hell. The voices come from those
imprisoned here; the Rebels. They
refused to bow down to the earthly authorities in the Overturn that took homes,
lives, businesses, everything. Refusing
to deal in the dishonest nature of the Marked, the Rebels proclaimed, “The Holy
One is our only ruler”. For this
defiance, they were outcast, hunted, tortured, even killed. The Mark ordered
all of the rebels to be “contained”, and today, the search still continues. Eventually, if not killed on sight, those
captured end up here, in a prison deep underground in what used to be known as
the Rocky Mountains. Led through
corridor after staircase after hallway, the Rebels are led deeper into the
belly of this tomb, until, just before reaching the very end, they are cast
into the gaping mouths of hungry, overflowing cells. The cells are constructed out of roughly hewn
stone and rusting iron bars. Nothing provides warmth, everything provides
chance for infection and disease. The echoing
walls are wet and musty, rats run rampant, and with every day, the stench of
urine and excrement builds. Above ground, the captives have been told, is
an enormous river. Should any attempt at an
overthrow or revolution occur, explosives buried deep in the rock above their
heads will detonate, sending thousands of tons of water down onto the weak,
sick, dying Rebels; crushing most, and drowning the rest. At first, every newcomer is terrified to even
breathe, lest the rocks crumble and send them all to their doom. However, after enough time has gone by
imprisoned, starved, and beaten, most captives come to hate the torture of it
all. It is not the thought of being
crushed by thousands of tons of water that causes their insanity. It is the hope, ending in disappointment with
the end of every day, that today was not the day for salvation. These people are actually hoping and waiting to
die—
And I am one of them.
So yeah... what do you think?? It gets more intruiging as you go along. It flashes back to how things used to be, when Amaris (the narrator/ heroine) is in school and yada yada yada.
Basically she's on a quest to find this mysterious "David" character, kindof the rebel leader, and free her friends and yeah... I can't tell you too much ;)
So anyway if you ever hear of a book come out called The Signless sometime in the future... BUY IT! hahaha it's mine!!!!
Sigh... so... i'm done now... haha
